The Mission Yearbook for Prayer and Study is a daily devotional with 365 inspiring mission stories that come from next door and all across the globe. It inspires thousands of Presbyterians daily as they uphold the mission of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.)in intercessory prayer. The stories in the 2013 Mission Yearbook were gathered around the question of Jesus to his disciples, “How many loaves have you?” from Mark 6:38. The book is filled with stories of God’s abundance in the face of overwhelming needs and a scarcity of resources.
Today in the Mission Yearbook: June 8, 2013
PRESBYTERY OF CHICAGO: ILLINOIS - How many loaves . . .” The issue of hunger is addressed in many ways in the Presbytery of Chicago. Sixty-five percent of our congregations have programs to relieve hunger in their communities and abroad. The presbytery’s End Hunger and Homelessness Mission Team (EHHMT—“empty”) has established a partnership with Angelic Organics Learning Center, which helps congregations establish urban gardens. Several congregations now plant gardens and harvest fruits and vegetables to supply local pantries. Share the Harvest also supports urban gardening by providing seeds and seedlings.
